4 riders shaken in Aqueduct spill

NEW YORK -- Jockey Angel Cordero suffered a broken right arm when he was thrown from his mount in a four-horse spill in yesterday's second race at Aqueduct.

Deal Rowdy, a 3-year-old gelding, precipitated the accident when he broke down under John Velazquez and was humanely destroyed after the incident.

Cordero and Velazquez were in the intensive-care unit at Long Island Jewish-Hillside Medical Center. Jorge Chavez suffered tenderness in his upper left buttock and went to Franklin General hTC Hospital for precautionary X-rays. Jean-Luc Samyn complained of minimal discomfort in his left shoulder, but was allowed to ride after an examination by the track doctor, Lawrence Strauss.
